'''Bahamut''' is a large dragon that appears in many ''[[Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' games. It is a [[summon]] in several games, and Bahamut also appears as a major character in several games. Bahamut is the titular character of two spinoff games, ''[[Bahamut Lagoon]]'' and ''[[Blood of Bahamut]]''. It appears in almost every ''Final Fantasy'' game except ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', although in the latter game, the [[Sky Fortress Bahamut]] is named after Bahamut. | |||
Bahamut's name originates from an aquatic creature in Arabian mythology. He is also based on the Bahamut from ''{{wp|Dungeons & Dragons}}''. | Bahamut's name originates from an aquatic creature in Arabian mythology. He is also based on the Bahamut from ''{{wp|Dungeons & Dragons}}''. | ||

Bahamut first appeared in ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', in which he is located under [[Cardia Islands]]. If the [[Warriors of Light]] retrieve the [[Rat's Tail]] in the [[Citadel of Trials]], they can return to Bahamut to have each of their [[class]]es upgraded. Starting with the ''[[Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls]]'' remake, Bahamut has a dark counterpart, [[Dark Bahamut]], who is found in the [[Lifespring Grotto]]. | |||
In | In several ''Final Fantasy'' games (such as ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'', and ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''), Bahamut only grants his alliance after determining a character's worth in battle. Bahamut has a major role in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'', and in the film ''[[Final Fantasy VII Advent Children]]''. | ||
In ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'', Bahamut is not a summon, and is introduced in the expansion ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia]]'' as the Wyrmking, a terrestrial avatar that fights along his [[wyrm]]s, namely [[Tiamat]], [[Vrtra]], [[Jormungand]], and Ouryu. | In ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'', Bahamut is not a summon, and is introduced in the expansion ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia]]'' as the Wyrmking, a terrestrial avatar that fights along his [[wyrm]]s, namely [[Tiamat]], [[Vrtra]], [[Jormungand]], and Ouryu. | ||
In ''[[Final Fantasy Unlimited]]'', the GunDragon is modeled after Bahamut, labeled as the ultimate summon of Kaze's MaGun. Though we saw it as the "Chaos-tainted" red-black creature emerging from the Pillar of Darkness, the GunDragon made its official appearance at the TV series finale in its true white coloring. | In ''[[Final Fantasy Unlimited]]'', the GunDragon is modeled after Bahamut, labeled as the ultimate summon of Kaze's MaGun.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', through hacking, one can add Bahamut's name to the in-game Summon list, meaning that it was likely planned as a summon. If the player selects Bahamut's name on the list, the game crashes. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix]]'', there is a Gummi Ship blueprint named after Bahamut. | In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', through hacking, one can add Bahamut's name to the in-game Summon list, meaning that it was likely planned as a summon.

Bahamut is also referenced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', in which [[khwiki:Sora|Sora]] can use a sleight called Mega Flare (by stocking a [[Mushu]] summon card and 2 Fire magic cards). "The Undying" uses attacks named after the three Bahamut summons within ''Final Fantasy VII'': Mega-Flare, Giga-Flare Sword and Tetra Flare. | Bahamut is also referenced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', in which [[khwiki:Sora|Sora]] can use a sleight called "Mega Flare" (by stocking a [[Mushu]] summon card and 2 Fire magic cards).

Bahamut is known for its very powerful [[Mega Flare]] ability, in which he exhales a powerful magical blast at every opponent. In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Bahamut is also accompanied by two more powerful versions: [[Neo Bahamut]] ([[Giga Flare]]), and [[Bahamut ZERO]] ([[Tera Flare]]). The attacks are named for the SI prefixes for ten to the powers six, nine, and twelve. | |||
In ''Final Fantasy VII Advent Children'', the character Kadaj summons '''Bahamut SIN''' to cause havoc in the city of Edge on the outskirts of Midgar. In ''[[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII]]'', [[Genesis]] summons '''Bahamut RETSU''' (''Exa Flare''), which is fought in a boss battle. The suffices and prefix for the variations of Bahamut in ''Final Fantasy VII'' and ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' are taken from the names of old Japanese fighter planes: KAI Bahamut ("Neo Bahamut"), Bahamut REISHIKI ("Bahamut Zero"), and Bahamut SHIN ("Bahamut TREMOR")<ref>Tetsuya Nomura, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Japanese language version; Director's Commentary audio track)</ref>. | |||
